this is a great movie. watch it right now.

its pretty dark and there are a few gruesome scenes but overall it has a good plot and is well acted.

the watcher

clap clap keanu reeves. you are a douche bag.

this movie was offensive to the senses. there is something/everything about keanu reeves that makes me want to kick him in the face. the only good part of this movie was when he finally motherfucking burnt to death in a raging fire.

god damnit his voice makes me cry blood. this movie would have been a million times better if he hadn't been cast. but even then it would still be a shit rip off of the bone collector.

cry wolf

this 'horror' was not in any way scary. it was more stupid than scary.

the only time i got a mild fright, was when a dog barked outside my window. that is it. the rest of the movie is pretty dumb, although it wasn't atrocious. a very mediocre movie. between shit and average. i'll give it the benefit of the doubt though and label it shit.

they

this is a very average horror. admittedly towards the end there were infrequent minor scares but that was it. most of the time i was mesmerised by the main character. she literally looks like an alien. she is mega tall with the longest neck i have ever seen. i was just waiting for her to peel of her face and reveal some kind of hideous extraterrestrial. it didn't happen to my dismay.

it wasn't a horrible film, but i would never ever watch it again. the ending was horrible however. the dvd contained an alternate ending which was way better so maybe the accidently put the wrong ending in. i don't really care either way.

the strangers

sweet mother of god.

this movie is fucking scary. absolutely motherfucking scary.
i love a good thriller/horror so i thought this movie was great. the suspense definitely outweighed the shock and fright which i find a positive in scary films.

what made the suspense worse was that this movie had very little audio/soundtrack. scary moments were rarely preceded by an orchestral buildup then accompanied with high frequency violin rape. the only music that does play is some freaky joanna newsom song on loop. most of it is just silence.... then more silence... then shit your pants... then BAM.. then where did they go?

watch this in a dark room in a quiet place, with a bucket.

quarantine

if you watch this movie at night in a dark room, its pretty motherfucking scary. i generally like scary movies and this one was satisfying. the editing was done well so that most of the movie ran seamlessly as if it were all one take.

i didn't really like how the movie ended, though i am not sure i could think up a better ending unless it involved a sequel. definitely worth a watch.
